Africanbream - Duckweed & Tilapia farming

African Bream's 'Marracuene Project', a fish farm will produce:

"...Tilapia, a white meat substitute for hake and cod, and the on-site production of Duckweed as a fish feed... and use duckweed, grown on site, as a feed for the fish..."

The feed input:

Cultivated duckweed has protein content similar to soya oil cake, in excess of 40%, which, together with other qualities, makes it a highly sought after animal feed for chicken broilers, cattle and Tilapia.

While the fish:

Tilapia produces a white flesh, similar in taste & texture to hake and cod, and the demand has grown substantially, with international consumption of Tilapia product, in 2007, exceeding 3 million ton.
